Accommodations
Big Gilley
Sometimes called "The Gilley House" or "Big Gilley" after the farmer who originally lived there, this home was renovated by our grandparents in the 1920's and has a restrained, late Victorian flavor. It easily sleeps twelve. The bottom floor includes a double bedroom with attached bath, a large, fully equipped kitchen and pantry with dishwasher, a shower room, good sized living and dining rooms, and a mid size utility/entry room with washer and dryer. An open, covered porch has a superb view of Great Cranberry Island and the Western Way. The second floor has the rest of the bedrooms: a double with attached bath, a triple and a single, which share a bath, and two doubles which also share a bath. Rental is $2,400 per week plus 9% Maine rooms and meals tax and a $350 cleaning fee (charged only once, regardless of the length of occupancy). Off-season rates are $1,400 per week.
